What is Herbal Connection?

Benefits of an Herbal Connection:

Is there anything more delicious than a handpicked peach, a sprig of peppermint, vine ripened tomatoes, or a fresh twig of rosemary? Having a connection to herbs and plants brings awareness to the rhythms of nature. Be curious about herbs, flowers, plants, and the world around you. Growing your own herbs is empowering, healthful, and fun! Tending to a plant, making sure it gets the right amount of water, sun and nutrients is a practical way to deepen your connection to your “whole”self.

Just a few ways herbs and plants are our partners in health:

Herbal medicines work to aid, restore, and harmonize opposing forces of energy within you.
Harvesting your own food and medicine – Herbs and edible plants are used to treat disease and enhance general health and well-being.
Spread the health around – Share your garden’s bounty with neighbors and friends to expand your social connections.
Kitchen Apothecary – The herbs and spices that you probably already have in your home pantry provide you with a splendid bounty of medicinal plants. Most are unaware that these herbs and spices are found in ancient herbal remedies and can serve as kitchen medicine.
Herbal connection entices you to get outside, connect with the sun, be more active and sit less.
Roots, flowers, leaves, stems, bark, seeds can all be therapeutic parts of plants which have natural healing properties that can promote well-being in both the body and mind.
Improve your nutrition by eating more herbs, vegetables, and fruit. When plants are in season, ripe and freshly picked, they are more delicious and are packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
Herbal connection can be prescribed in many different forms – Teas, tinctures, glycerite, capsules, salves, creams, poultices, and herbal infused healing oils are just some of the many ways you can internally and externally benefit from herbal energies.

Many of you may already be experiencing a positive herbal and plant connection. Remember, there are many plants that can make you sick and are deadly poisonous. You should not harvest nor consume any part of any wild edible plant, herb, weed, tree, fruit, or bush until you have 100% verified and identified that it is safe for you. It is important to take necessary precautions harvesting any plant. Avoid harvesting from places with pollution or runoff, along roadsides, and avoid harvesting endangered plants (see unitedplantsavers.org). Understand there are some plants used medicinally only in small doses verses some that can be eaten with little concern.

Here's what others are sharing about their herbal connection:

Be Well Living's Ear oil has been excellent for relieving my ear issues. I have been having issues with my one ear for 9 years with repeated periods where it has been painful. I saw one of my physicians & there was so much wax build up in my ear that he couldn't tell whether or not the tube that had been placed in my ear was still there or not. I was then introduced to Molly & purchased some of Be Well Living's ear oil. I only used 2 treatments & 3 weeks later, there was much improvement as only a tiny bit of the wax remained. My ear was painful each time a treatment was given & the ear drops were very soothing & the pain in my ear went away. I would highly recommend this product to anyone having ear issues. - JG

Whodathunkit? Here I am in the prime of my life sending you a note of thanks for your Menopause Support Formula tincture you have lovingly prepared. I’ve just gotten my 2nd bottle…to be honest, upon starting my first bottle I felt ‘some improvement & I kind of forgot to continue using it…a few months later I’m like…wtf…why do I feel so off…in a very not thinking kind of way I grabbed for my MSF & began the routine (ha! What’s that they say about dinacharya?!) again. In earnest. This is literally the only thing I did differently…after ..3? 4 days? I’m like huh. How about that. And just like that, I haven’t forgotten to use it anymore, hence bottle #2. Thank you Ms. Molly…how lucky am I to have my own medicine woman to call my friend! Cheers to good health. ‘Be well’💕 - AC
